In my warped mind's eye, I see it more like two hundred fishermen on opening 
day of Salmon season, fishing from every angle as they line up the riverside 
on both banks casting their lines into the middle of the river.  Now a musician 
fisherman starts up stream and drifts downstream in a rubber boat trolling 
right through the middle of all two hundred lines which of course get 
immediately entangled into one big un-tangleable mass.

It is amusing however to sit up on the draw bridge and watch them all 
fighting their big catch for a couple of hours, fist one pulling and reeling from the 
South bank, then another one pulling and reeling from the North bank, 
assuming that the river is running east and west at that section of the river anyway.
